Griefing In Champ Select.

I'm sure we've all been there. You highlight the champ you want to pick before banning, and some Ahole decides to ban your champ either because they weren't paying attention or they're just being dicks. In my last game someone did the same to me simply because I wouldn't give them the role I was playing after politely saying no sorry. Then he picked Udyr and said "go on then" and went on to afk farm the entire game while coming into other lanes to steal farm and doing nothing. While also saying things in chat to try to make me mad because he knows he's not going to get punished for what he did, and he probably won't.

My question is, why hasn't riot implemented a system that stops people from doing this ? If I highlighted a champ before the ban phase, that means I want to play that champ. So why should anyone on my team be able to ban that champ for whatever reason ? It's such a simple notion. If a champ is picked before bans, no one on my team should be able to ban that champ unless I pick another one.

Riot please.

Bottom line is: there had to be a preference of pick vs ban, and while having priority over one versus the other has its risks and benefits, they've gone with bans over pick intent. While banning someone's pick intent can be trolling (or most recently with me, a mistake), the same is possible with the other scenario, where picks would prevent bans: "Why would you hover Yummi. You're not even first pick and she (it?) is so OP!" Then it ends up on the other team because you couldn't ban her.

2nd Bottom line, if you notice negative behavior in champion select, you can still report that in the post-game lobby. Make sure to describe what they did, and note it was in champion select/pre-game.

Some people are scared of sombody picking that champ in there team its not always cause of sombody wanting to troll. Lets say senna shes new right ? People are free to pick her but most of us know cause shes new most prob arent going to well with her or even feed cause they dont understand the champ well enough.
